Cement tech for roads: Ohanaeze urges Reps to prioritise national interest over contract

The House of Representatives took the action following a notice motion by Honourable Khadija Ibrahim from Yobe State, highlighting potential contradictions in the Minister of Works' new policy on cement concrete pavement adoption. However, Ohanaeze admitted that the House of Representatives must ensure transparency, accountability, and adherence to technical specifications for all government projects.

'It is important to note that the Minister has offered an alternative to contractors who insist on using asphalt. These contractors are required to swear under oath and sign a guarantee of 20 years' durability for the roads constructed using asphalt. This measure ensures that contractors who opt for asphalt are held accountable for their choice, considering the long-term implications and potential economic waste.
